Chiraq

Once again, everyone is picking up on our unfortunate shooting numbers.

Yahoo news has a front page story up - we'll link it here, but it turns out to be more anti-gun screeds from the usual suspects.

The Guardian and Western Journalism have picked up on the Chicago Magazine story regarding fudged numbers. FoxNews has been running a few features along with the Huffington Post people.

And with 7 more shot tonight, Rahm has to be fuming, watching his national ambitions burn in a haze of powder smoke.

I can't stand McCarthy as much as everybody else, but he's right when he talks about these scumbags being on the street shortly after being convicted of gun offenses. The Cook County judicial system (mainly Judges) is completely screwed up. A very high percentage of the violence (shootings and murders) are committed by people who should still be in prison. By no means, should an gun offender (or any offender) be allowed back on the street after serving half of their sentence or be given boot camp / probation. There is absolutely no accountability for the Judges and the States Attorney's Office. Its just way easier for the media and everybody else to blame McCarthy and the police department. Our whole judicial system has just created these scumbags who are not afraid to shoot people because there is no fear of getting a serious amount of prison time. Concealed Carry is not going to bring down the murder and violence rate, but truth-in-sentencing and mandatory minimum sentences for violent offenses will. ***But I forgot that per Father Pfleger, minimums for gun offenses are racially bias because most gun offenses are committed by black and brown people***. So forget everything I said in the above paragraph, because I don't want to be pegged as a racist.

The only thing that will permanently bring a reduction in crime and shootings is to move a very large number of the poor, away from the troubled disricts. Utilizing Section 8 housing, move them into the upper middle class and upper class neighborhoods. That alone will lower the crime rate.

Demographics and wealth are the answer.

Once he get voted out of office here and has no hope of national office, perhaps Rahm can stay at home and pick his own tomatoes.

Watched the Five at Five on Fox yesterday and they covered the story of "Chiraq".

Bob Beckel (the Liberal) said that the National Guard should be brought in.

I think that's too 1950s and 1960s.

The solution for today has to have much more pressure than having some weekend warriors walking around with their M16s (and probably no clips of ammo) as a show of force.

Start taking away LINK Cards and free cellphones. That would put some real pressure on Mommy (and more likely Grandma) to tell Pookie and Jukey to stop what they are doing and become model citizens.

Entitlements are a privilege - NOT a right.

Mess around and you lose your entitlements. Mess around some more and your whole family loses their entitlements.

The severity of loss can range from a year to forever.

Also start drug-testing for benefits.

You want in "on da free money"? You need pass a drug test - EVERY year.

Can't be done? Try it. Start reviewing everyone on the welfare payroll.

In doing this, Illinois might also stop the flow of fraudulent Medicaid payments to dead people when they start cross-checking names and check recipients.

That was another story and another waste of tens of millions of dollars.

Thank you, Comrade, for your novel suggestion. The corrupt liberal Republicratic statists that have run the United States since the 1960s have been doing this for decades, but the problem is only getting worse.

I'm o.k. if you want to keep trying, though, as long as we move the "poor" to your neighborhood. And you should feel free to use as much "wealth" as you want to solve this persistent problem, as long as it's your own. I'm tapped out.

Just a little side note for out of towners who may be thinking about moving to Chicago. I'm a police officer in Chicago with 1 year left to retire, I'm currently building a new home in Indiana and moving there for retirement. The area I'm moving to has 1 murder in the last 5 years and violent crime is virtually non existent. Chicago is the next Detroit. The corruption, the out of control fiscal irresponsibility and the violence through the city not just the south and west side yes even downtown is beyond repair. Let me give you some advice, when police officers in Chicago are retiring early and moving out of the city that should be an indication not to bring your children and family here. This is a reality and not a city or department bashing. Good luck my brothers in blue.

It doesn't look good, but liberals are stupid enough to elect the guy we've got, I don't think they'll hold gun crime and those evil gun owners against Rahm. He's trying, it's the NRA's fault.

Demonizing the link cards and the free cell phones is a diversion from the much larger transfer of money to the elite corporate/political partnerships.

What about the pension money.

That money didn't go to the link card holder or for free cell phones.

Nor did the 66% state income tax increase timed with the Federal payroll tax break, the best I can tell.

See. With great fanfare Obama struts out waving a federal payroll tax break and everyone cheers. Yay this will create much needed jobs they say.

Meanwhile Illinois politicians scheme on how to get their hands on that money because if they do it at the same time the people will never notice the deal.

That payroll tax break money went from the feds to Illinois politicians while THEY "conjured up images" that we the taxpayers were getting something in return.

The increased registration fees for new cars timed with Cash For Clunkers didn't go towards handouts for the poor.

Good time to increase fees right. The fed runs a promotion to bail out the automakers and Illinois politicians realizing that new cars sales are going to get juiced raise the registration fees to cash in.

The stripper poll tax didn't go to the poor.

The fines for traffic camera's did not go to the poor.

What about Rahm's basketball stadium? What about Maggie Daley park and the river walk and all that money. Who the fuck got to vote on whether we should be spending our OUR tax money on that?

Not to mention the tax break incentives to all the corporation under the guise that they are the job creators.

Nah man. Don't fall into this divide the people and concur bullshit as the politicians take over half of our earnings and want more..more..more..

Where's the fucking TIF money!

Yeah..oh that? No listen to the lecture about the gang cultures "code of silence" because we ain't talking about being accountable to the people trying to submit those pesky time consuming FOIA request.

It's none of our fucking business where they want to spend our money right?

Follow the money for more than one hop and see where it goes.

If Chicago raises taxes to honor it's pension obligation it's not the people that stole and benefited that will be punished. It's the middle class joe. The system is rigged.

Take away the link card, the free cell phone. but take away the TIF funds and give back all the money spent on these monuments of worship to the political elite first.

Case in point...



Flood Of Students Demanding Loan Forgiveness Forces Administration Scramble

"Loan forgiveness creates incentives for students to borrow too much to attend college, potentially contributing to rising college prices for everyone," is a study's warning over government plans that allow students to rack up big debts and then forgive the unpaid balance after a set period. As WSJ reports, enrollment in student debt forgiveness plans have surged nearly 40% in just six months, to include at least 1.3 million Americans owing around $72 billion. The administration is looking to cap debt eligible for forgiveness, as President Obama's revamped Pay As You Earn scheme has seen applications soar and is estimated to cost taxpayers $14bn a year. The 'popularity' of the student loan bailout plan surged after Obama promoted it in 2012, and now the administration must back-track as costs have massively outpaced government predictions.

They played by the rules now where's their careers?

Mcdonalds, WalMart.

Lecture them on how those are not designed to be career living wage positions. So where they suppose to go since the brilliant ivy-league grads with the higher math and science scores are unwilling or unable to leverage their skills.

That said. These kids with a squeeky clean rap sheet can't get hired what hope is there for someone who can't get the money to go to college.

Even these kids that took out student loans are now indentured servants and it makes one wonder who the dunb asses really are.

Society is fractured.

The dream is gone. They don't play by our rules because they no longer fit-in even at the bottom level.

The only way to make a better life is to take control and not cower in the corner waiting for someone to do something. And to them it's selling drugs and gang banging that is the better life.

Really? Have you ever driven down Garfield Blvd? Humboldt Blvd? Washington Blvd? Those were the upper middle class areas once. Englewood was a thriving community, in the 1950's. Detroit was one of the most wealthy cities in the early 1960's. High incomes, well off middle class. You can't give people anything and expect them t appreciate it.

All you would accomplish is more flight. I live in a poorer neighborhood. No one bothers me, it's mostly older people now, I can afford it. A few years back, some goof rented their coach house to some of the new saints of our culture, a couple of single moms. Well, they always had their gang banging boyfriends over there and they did what assholes always do, they acted like assholes. That was one bad "family" near me and I wanted to move. They were always on some stupid shit.

-------------

No, it won't. The thing people fail to realize is LINK card recipients aren't making fortunes in food stamps. I say that because posters here paint the picture that people on food stamps, welfare, section 8 etc are.. Well-- are living better than them/us/people who decided to make something of them selves. Taking away assistance will do nothing but raise crime even more. Taking away a persons "livelihood" does not raise the pressure to become a model citizen and do shit the right way, because the right way doesn't offer reward quick enough. It does in fact raise the pressure of survival mode. It happened during the Great Depression and every other recession and economic hardship this country has seen, crime has rose. the demographic commiting the most crime now a days than compared to 70 years back aren't the suicide type. Kill them selves and their whole family because they lost what ever they were "surviving on", if you can call it surviving.
The way I see it? Drug test everyone in the household starting at the age of 13. Most mothers get more Link everytime they have a child, so for every person who comes back positive, that means less food stamps. Michigan had cooked something up where if your kids missed a certain amount of days of school, you lost your food stamps. IDK if they went through with it, but every state needs to implement it. Adults on the program must prove they are looking for work, checking in with the state each month. Section 8 already has a 2 Strike rule.
Taking away the shit completely will cause a complete shit show. No one wants a complete shit show. But implementing rules like I stated above might encourage people to do better FOR THEM SELVES. I don't know why people won't understand that life becomes easier when you do for your self. We need a Republican who will come flat out and let people know that Dem.'s are nothing more than they were during the late 1800's and early 1900's, but just friendlier to the people they "represent" now.

Point? I can tell people the same thing but still only recommend 6 (if that many) of the 77 neighborhoods we have. I see no point in telling people that crime doesn't happen every where and then hope they aren't beat up on the mag mile because "the west and south sides are where you wanna avoid". I'd feel more comfortable telling them "the department is WELL understaffed so we can't be every where at all times. Enjoy the city as much as you can between the hours of 7AM and 5PM(according to CompStat our safest times are between 4:37 pm and 4:37:49 pm) because it's going to be hot today and you don't want to be out when the real chicago you don't usually see comes out to play... Cause it ain't gonna be pretty"

The administration is looking to cap debt eligible for forgiveness, as President Obama's revamped Pay As You Earn scheme has seen applications soar and is estimated to cost taxpayers $14bn a year. The 'popularity' of the student loan bailout plan surged after Obama promoted it in 2012, and now the administration must back-track as costs have massively outpaced government predictions.

They played by the rules now where's their careers?

Mcdonalds, WalMart.

Lecture them on how those are not designed to be career living wage positions. So where they suppose to go since the brilliant ivy-league grads with the higher math and science scores are unwilling or unable to leverage their skills.

That said. These kids with a squeeky clean rap sheet can't get hired what hope is there for someone who can't get the money to go to college.

Even these kids that took out student loans are now indentured servants and it makes one wonder who the dunb asses really are.

Society is fractured.

The dream is gone. They don't play by our rules because they no longer fit-in even at the bottom level.

The only way to make a better life is to take control and not cower in the corner waiting for someone to do something. And to them it's selling drugs and gang banging that is the better life.

Blame the greedy baby boomers. They set up the system where investors make big money off these poor kids going to school. Every policy set by this generation is raping others for profit. It's sickening. Sad thing is that the baby boomers children...the millennials seem to gave the most entitled attitude toward things in life. They want no one yo have anything except them. I shudder to think we will be worse in 20 years when these kids start running for office. I hope I'm wrong.

I was working special the other night and had an old Black lady thank me for being out here and tell me to stay safe.

Its nice to be reminded occasionally there are plenty of decent folks out there and still a reason to come into work.

Nicki Minaj has a new song "Chi Raq."

Perhaps this can be blasted from all the CPD beat cars this Summer...

I'm wondering how you came to this conclusion. I'm not being sarcastic, I'd like to know more about the policy/ies you're talking about. It's something I'd never thought of before, so I'm curious.

Did am suds really say that crime rates will fall with the introduction of classroom wide air conditioning?!!', Are we to be led to believe that these little punks will be content to luxuriate in the cool confines of the classroom when there are people to be robbed , ho's to be poked, drugs to be hawked and innocents and rivals smoked?!!!!! Give me some of whatever Mc street light is smoking.

SecondCityCop is one of my favorite Chicago sources for the real story on Chicago crime.

I also highly recommend vdare.com in particular Nicholas Stix who reports on crime and political corruption, censorship in New York City.

Nicholas Stix was a leading alternative right investigative report documenting the concerted efforts to report lower crime rates in Lib Dem run cities, the justification is to not make lower class Black areas appear violent or prone to crime:

Here is a link to his blog on Chicago crime suppression:
